Tom Latham leads the team huddle on day three, potentially the last day of the series. India's overnight pair make their way out to the middle.
4:48pm
We're almost ready for the start of play.
There's been no word yet on whether Shubman Gill will be able to bat for India. He copped two nasty blows in the field on day two, one at short leg from Henry Nicholls, and another at midwicket from Kyle Jamieson.
Cheteshwar Pujara opened the batting in his place, but we might not know if he'll bat until a wicket falls - whenever that may be.
4:12pm
Good afternoon! It looks like we'll start at 5pm (NZ time) again today, after more overs were lost yesterday.
But you get the feeling not even the delays for a wet outfield or bad light can save the Blackcaps here...
*****
Kia ora, good evening and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of day three of the second test between the Blackcaps and India at Mumbai.
Much can happen in 28.1 overs. After Ajaz Patel created New Zealand history with figures of 10/119, India's bowlers went through the Blackcaps batting order like a knife through butter.
New Zealand's 62 all out gave away a 263-run lead, which India have pushed out to a 322-run advantage, finishing day two at 69/0, after not enforcing the follow-on.
India will resume their second innings, with first-innings centurion Mayank Agarwal (38 not out) and Cheteshwar Pujara (29 not out) returning to the crease.
The only question will be how long does captain Virat Kohli want to bat for? All things considered, India could declare before play starts and still have enough runs to seal a comfortable win.
But with more than one Indian batter in need of runs before their upcoming tour to South Africa, don't be surprised if the hosts see today as a glorified practice session.
As for the Blackcaps, victory isn't impossible - it would require one of test cricket's all-time great turnarounds.
New Zealand still need 10 wickets, before chasing more than 300 in the fourth innings. For the record, the highest successful run chase in India is 387, achieved by the hosts against England in 2008.
The highest successful chase for a visiting side in India is 276 runs at Delhi - by the great West Indies side all the way back in 1987.
TAB odds: NZ $70, India $1.01, draw $30
